โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I told my siblings exactly what I needed instead of hoping they'd notice and go slowly.โ
โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. The worst part was childcare costs more than my wages. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.โ
โHi, you. I was where you are this time last year. Back then, their dad pays nothing. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.โ
โA note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. Their dad pays nothing, and I couldn't see past it. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart.โ
